From the middle of the nineteenth century, most European cities
experienced a period of unrivalled growth and development that
forever changed not only their physical characteristics, but also
their social foundations. As the great industrial cites were forced
to face the new and unprecedented challenges of rapid urbanisation
and increased population, they had to rethink many of the concepts
on which previous city institutions had been based. One of the most
fundamental of these was the role of house ownership, and the
rights and responsibilities it offered. Exploring the social and
political meanings attributed to property - specifically home
ownership - this study looks at how these changed during the course
of the modern city building process between 1860 and 1920.
Focussing on two northern European capital cities, Berlin and
Stockholm, it provides a symmetrical investigation that helps
illuminate the competing factors that shaped the shifting nature of
cityscapes and urban social structures.
